ARY apologises for yet another false report

KARACHI: The ARY apologised to Prime Minister’s Advisor for Aviation Shujaat Azim for false allegations levelled by its anchorperson Mubashar Luqman against him.

In one of the allegations the anchorperson had said an aeroplane of the PIA was sold to the Advisor’s daughter. Other such allegations related to murder of Rafiq Hariri, Prime Minister of Lebanon, and regarding the accident faced by the plane of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

In its letter of apology to Shujaat Azim the ARY said allegations of its anchorperson in the programme Khara Sach were not true. This is not for the first time the ARY administration has begged apology. It has become a regular practice of the channel’s anchorperson to mention names of Allah and the Prophet (PBUH), then insult others and then seek apology. The ARY did so a number of times earlier after baseless allegations, unfounded reports and sought forgiveness from courts and personalities.
